MrBeast not quite in the bidding race for TikTok just yet, rep says
By Associated Press

Jimmy Donaldson — better known online as MrBeast — isn't in the TikTok bidding race just yet, according to a representative for the YouTube star.

Donaldson stirred interest in a Jan. 13 post on X saying he'd 'buy TikTok so it doesn't get banned.' The next day, Donaldson added, 'Unironically I've had so many billionaires reach out to me since I tweeted this, let's see if we can pull this off.'
